DEFINING SLOPE SECTION 5. 2

Slope rise to ____ is the ratio of vertical ______ run horizontal _____. Slope

Slope rise to ____ is the ratio of vertical ______ run horizontal _____. Slope = rise run = SLOPEMAN My one weakness is that I can only run to the right.

Remember, I can only run to the right! If I run uphill, then the

Remember, I can only run to the right! If I run uphill, then the slope of the line is positive. Rise Run Lines with a positive slope go uphill from left to right.

Slopeman is going UPHILL so the slope is POSITIVE. Lines with POSITIVE slope go

Slopeman is going UPHILL so the slope is POSITIVE. Lines with POSITIVE slope go UP from left to right

If I run DOWNHILL, then the slope of the line is NEGATIVE. Lines with

If I run DOWNHILL, then the slope of the line is NEGATIVE. Lines with a NEGATIVE slope go DOWN from left to right. Rise Run Remember, I can only run to the right!

Slopeman is going downhill so the slope is negative.

Slopeman is going downhill so the slope is negative.

Sometimes when you must find the slope of a line without having a picture

Sometimes when you must find the slope of a line without having a picture of the graph, it is easier to find the slope of a line using the following formula. Slope = when the two points are Example 3: Find the slope of the line containing the following points
